i‘ve never read a book this good. never.
this book is about 7 students who study shakespearean theater. one day one of them dies. this story is not only about mystery and finding out who the murderer is but also about love and friendship. the seven aren‘t only friends, they are their own family.
the ending just broke my heart but when i researched more about shakespeare and the meaning of the last quote it put my heart back together.
first i was a bit hesitant to pick this book up because of the shakespearan english but i learned a little bit of it in my english class.
of course i didn‘t understand every quote or play but i felt like it wasn‘t really necessary to understand the story. it probably would be even better with a deeper meaning if you would understand every quote and i think i‘m going to reread this book sometime and really research every quote and play but to fall in love with this story you don‘t need to do that.
i loved this book so much and i‘m going to think about this book for a very long time.
